This course will help you understand how to see the picture on the box of that jigsaw puzzle in your mind so you can start crafting the pieces of a documentary, whether that writing happens in pre-production, during the collection of footage, or in post-production as you work to craft the final narrative.

Each session includes a written lecture, creative exercises to further your learning, and a writing assignment to turn in for personalized feedback from your instructor.

This class will take you through some of the best films and techniques and help you understand how you can wield films to be a better storyteller. It will help you understand how to see what makes films tick and how you can set that watch for your own stories to make you a better writer.

Assignments will include watching movies and identifying techniques taught in class to help expand understanding. How can tracking the timecode of a film help you better understand pacing? How can Alfred Hitchcock help you better understand the power in a juxtaposition of images? How can watching films with intermissions teach us how to better position the beginnings and endings of chapters? This is just a taste of the sort of assignments we'll spend the next 10 weeks going through. Join us and start learning from the masters today!
